    I was unable to install PP3 Beta. I double clicked the "install.cmd" file as instructed but nothing happened.

    I am using PP2 trial version.

    Will PP3 Beta install in the trial version or only in the retail version?

    Thanks,

    Ken,

    With your comment that it should install on the trial version, I tried it again and it worked.

    Thanks much

    Given the trail and OEM version are two different packages, I doubt it.  You can't even upgrade the trail using the OEM activation key.  Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm, but, don’t get your hopes up high.

    Yes, Power Pack 3 beta will install on a Windows Home Server trial installation. Can you give us more information?

    Ken, thanks for the reply.

    I just noticed that I had to have PP2 version 6.0. I have version 5.

    How do I get version 6. I cannot locate it in Windows Update.

    Thanks,

    Dave
